A review by trieb
The Demon in the Teahouse by Dorothy Hoobler, Thomas Hoobler

4.0

Seikei is sent by Judge Ooka to the Floating District to discover who has been murdering women (geisha and servants) in the area. It's an interesting look at the culture of the time period, but it's mostly an enjoyably suspenseful mystery.

Seikei is resourceful and intelligent, but he's also a typical teenage boy which means that he gets into trouble while trying to do the right thing.

These books are a quick read. I'm already on the last one -- and I started reading the second one yesterday.
